KEY MESSAGES

- Seasonally cool and sunny this weekend followed by a warming and continued dry trend for a majority of next week.

SHORT TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/

Issued at 101 PM CST Fri Nov 13 2026

This afternoon, breezy, cool, and dry conditions persist as we remain on the backside of an upper level trough over the Great Lakes. While some passing clouds will be seen through the afternoon, skies will clear out through the evening and into overnight. This will lead to a rather chilly start Saturday morning as lows drop into the low to mid 20s. Some cool drainage areas, particularly in the northwestern CWA, may even drop into the upper teens!

By midday Saturday, the upper level trough will drift further eastward, letting a midlevel ridge build into the north central CONUS. With this, high pressure formerly over the northwestern Great Lakes will slide southward and sit over the Mississippi Valley. This will result in a similar day to today, albeit with calm winds.

LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/

Issued at 101 PM CST Fri Nov 13 2026

As we remain under the midlevel ridge, high pressure will shift eastward over the Ohio River Valley by midweek. This will bring us mild but pleasant weather for mid-November, with highs in the 50s and lows rising from the 30s to the 40s.

Model signals suggest the potential for precipitation late next week as waves translate through an upper level trough over the Rockies and eject into the central CONUS. While there is uncertainty in where and when these systems impact the area, this may be an area to watch as we head into the next week.
